Hey Dr. Bob, 

I wanted to share an opportunity with you that may be of help to your practice. I've been working with silkin management group for some time now, they are a consulting firm that has helped thousands of ________________ practices like ours. 

They have really made a difference for my practice especially through Covid.  If you have a need they might be able to help you with would you be interested in finding out how?  I mention this now because they are offering a complimentary 2 hour session at this time.  it's a good way to find out if it might make sense for you to work with them.  Interested?  

Step Two: Find Out What Your Colleague Needs

Next, ask your colleague if there are any areas they would like to improve in their practice. Most doctors & healthcare practice owners come to us with a specific issue they would like to resolve. Knowing what that is can help you ensure your colleague gets results.

Step Three: Tell Them Your Experience

Tell your colleague that you started out with a no-charge consultation and found it to be of help, and then had another no-cost, more in-depth, Practice Analysis which was even more helpful. Be sure to mention that neither of these cost anything nor committed you to anything.

At this point, you may hear objections from your colleague. You may find it helpful to show them the video below.
